This is a real dumb question but it's been bugging me for some time... On the home page of this site there is an active user list of those registered users currently logged on.
The question is, is why are some names highlighted in red?

I'm glad you asked - I've been wondering the same thing... So far all I have come up with is that the red folks are prospective 2005 thru-hikers...
I thought I was the only one who didn't know! Thought I missed something!

When Troll gets on, he can tell you. He had some sort of system to join you to that list.

Here's a question.
Some people can be logged on but never appear in the Active Users list. SMS and Lone Wolf are two who come to mind.
Is there a firewall or some other software that keeps them off of the list? Or are they taking some sort of masking agent like MLB players who are on steroids?

Sure you can be "invisible". In your user CP, Find "Edit Options" on the left side of the screen. A set of options come up when you hit that link. The top one is:
<FIELDSET class=fieldset><LEGEND><LABEL for=cb_invisible>Use Invisible Mode</LABEL></LEGEND><TABLE cellSpacing=3 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>Invisible mode allows you to browse the forums without appearing in the 'Currently Active Users' lists.</TD></TR><TR><TD><LABEL for=cb_invisible><INPUT id=cb_invisible type=checkbox CHECKED value=1 name=options[invisible]>Use Invisible Mode</LABEL></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></FIELDSET> <FIELDSET class=fieldset><LEGEND><LABEL for=cb_showvcard>Allow vCard Download</LABEL></LEGEND><TABLE cellSpacing=3 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>You may choose to allow other users to download a vCard containing your email address and username.
If you want to keep your email address private, do not allow vCard downloads. </TD></TR><TR><TD><LABEL for=cb_showvcard><INPUT id=cb_showvcard type=checkbox CHECKED value=1 name=options[showvcard]>Allow vCard Download</LABEL></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></FIELDSET>
Just make sure you check the invisibility mode and you cannot be seen except by an admin.

Its 5 minutes later and I'm still laughing at that last post Rock. Who suggested it?
I can't remember exactly, I think it was in an off topic forum. Someone posted with their Head firmly implanted in the third point of contact, which is something this person does regularly, and that came up.

You know, the number of registered users would drop significantly is you deleted the accounts of people who never posted and were last online over a year ago... I was browsing around and pulled up the members list, then sorted by join date and started clicking on member's names with zero post count. Surprisingly enough, quite a few were last online back in 2002. I'm guessing then, the number of registered users would at least halve itself if you went through and updated. A tedious process the way I did it, but I'm sure the webmaster status would allow you more access to search parameters.

It would. But then again there have been sites that I am member on I didn't check on for years but still occasionally go back to. I would hate for them to have deleted my account and then I have to go back and register again. They don't hur nuthin by being there. I also know of a user or two that have more than one account. Some of them we merged, some of them we haven't yet.

Yes, but then if everyone deleted their inactive users how would the likes of AOL be able to brag about their millions of users?Originally Posted by Pencil Pusher
